In the Wilds of Climate Law (Paperback, General)

As the challenge of climate change begins to impact upon all aspects of everyday life, the need for a wider approach to its legal implications is never more urgent. This unique text from some of the country's top legal academics as well as Stanford University's Professor Armin Rosencranz, illustrates with disturbing clarity how legal policy, litigation, investment, corporations law, labour law, property law, international law, and WTO law all intersect with the environmental legal framework when considering the impacts of climate change. Members of the Climate Law and Policy Group and invited speakers from a conference hosted at Sydney Law School by the Australian Centre for Climate and Environmental Law (ACCEL) entitled 'Intersections Between Global Climate Change, Law and Policy' presented the papers that now comprise the chapters of this edited collection. For some this was their first-ever foray into the relationship between an area of law in which they had been immersed for years and global climate change. The chapters are in no way the authors' final and or definitive contributions to the field, which is a reflection of the ongoing debate and research findings by scientists and others, yet the reader will find much to stimulate their thinking about this broad-ranging topic.
